1991 Lancia Thema 16V Turbo SE review from UK and Ireland
"Bargain; wolf in sheep's clothing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic suspension failed; changed to standard struts due to high cost of parts.
Minor electrical faults, mainly caused by poor earthing in the engine bay area.
Electric windows sluggish.
Rust around rear window pillars and rear wheel arches.
Alloy wheel finish very poor and prone to severe corrosion.
General comments?
Excellent performance for little money compared to similar cars.
Heavy on fuel and front tyres if used hard, but fun to drive.
Anonymous car that surprises all passengers with its performance, comfort and level of equipment for such a low second hand price.
